New Phase for UNEP’s Climate Neutral Network
 Nairobi,
20 December 2011 –
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has
announced the closure of the Climate Neutral Network
(CN Net). Members of the web-based platform, which
allowed companies, organizations, cities and states to
showcase their climate neutral strategies, and to
share and access information and ideas with fellow
participants, are being invited to approach other
similar platforms to continue their climate neutral
efforts. Beginning with just 13 participants, the
network today consists of 300 members, who have
demonstrated their commitment to low carbon growth at
international climate forums and other events.

UN System Provides Its Perspectives on a Green Economy
- A “People-Centered” approach emphasized
 New
York, 14 December 2011 – Against a backdrop of the multiple crises of
the past four years -- financial, economic, food and
energy -- the United Nations today launched a report
that offers UN agencies and its member states guidance
for coordinating the transition to a Green Economy at
the international and country levels. In the
first-ever inter-agency report on the Green Economy,
the Environment Management Group (EMG), representing
the work of UN agencies, the Bretton Woods
Institutions and other intergovernmental bodies --
many of whom have a human and social development
mandate – outlines steps and policies for pursuing a
green economic transformation that generates new
sources of sustainable and equitable economic growth
that will assist in a global economic recovery.
